CMS Content management system is a computer program that allows publishing, editing and modifying content as well as maintenance from a central interface. Content management systems are often used to run websites containing blogs, news, and shopping. Many corporate and marketing websites use CMS. CMS typically aim to avoid the need for hand coding but may support it for specific elements or entire pages. Content management systems are mainly based on php programming language.

PHP is a particularly useful programming language because it allows for advanced programming and is easy to integrate with web pages. Another advantage of PHP is that the language interfaces very well with MySQL, a popular type of online database. MYSQL is database application that is made available free under the Open Source to anyone. There are lots of blogging platforms.

http://onesmartclick.in/wordpress/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-wordpress/#respondSat, 12 Dec 2015 22:55:30 +0000http://onesmartclick.in/?p=1867There are many WordPress users out there, who want to uninstall and reinstall their WordPress installation. There can be many reasons for the slight change in heart, it can be technical issues or they just want to get rid of all the problems they are having with the current WordPress installation. Whatever may be the reason, today, I’ll go forward and show you, “How to Uninstall and Reinstall WordPress“.

Lack of WordPress knowledge can really hurt you in the long run. There are many webmasters and bloggers who do not have any idea how to the internals of the WordPress works. This can lead to undesired results — leading to a point of uninstalling the WordPress installation and reinstalling it. There has been no such word such as fixing left at that point. Hiring someone who can do it for you can cost some serious money, and uninstalling and reinstalling WordPress seems to be the best option.

For more advanced users, it is always better to solve the problem manually as the reinstall process can lead to loss of posts, articles, images and other forms of information that you might need. So, it is always better to backup your WordPress database, before even thinking about the process of the doing anything to the core WordPress installation.

There are many ways to Uninstall and Reinstall WordPress, and we will go through most of them. So, why the wait? Let’s start our tutorial of “How to uninstall and reinstall WordPress”.

How to Uninstall and Reinstall WordPress

Method 1: Completely removing the current installation and installing a fresh one.

This approach is useful if you don’t want to leave any trace of the old WordPress installation.

1. Find the WordPress directory in which your WordPress website files are located. If websites are not in the sub-domain, it is probably residing in the public_html core of the File system.

2. Delete all the files residing in the WordPress folder.

3. Delete the table and the user that is associated with the WordPress website. This step can be done through the cPanel of your WordPress website. In the cPanel, you have to find the MySQL database section and remove the database manually.

4. The last step is to install the WordPress, the way you did for the first time.

Method 2: Database Deletion and Reinstallation

The database holds all the information for your website. If you can get rid of it, you can sure reinstall the WordPress website without installing any new information.

1. Go to the cPanel of your hosting and find the database in the MySQL database section. Delete the database and user table.

You can find the database name and the username in the wp-config.php file. You can choose to download it through the FTP client and find the values.

2. Create a new database of the same username and database. This way you won’t have to modify the wp-config.php file. Otherwise, update your wp-config.php file with the database name and username.

3. Running the installer will star the installation from scratch. This can be done by just visiting your website.

Method 3: Ask your hosting provider technical support

Still confused? Don’t worry as there is still one path remaining to do the stuff. Nowadays hosting support have been improved a lot. If you are using any of the hosting provided on our website, you can undoubtedly understand the level of service they provide.

Contacting the support can solve your problem, and they can reinstall your WordPress installation in minutes. But, before proceeding, I want you to take a backup of your database file so that you can revert to the old version. Also, most of the service providers always backup your website(depending on your package).

Reinstall WordPress Website After Hack

Hacking is one of the most impressive aspects of our modern technology. I recently covered the topic, How to Hide the Fact that Your Website Runs on WordPress and discussed on how small players are targeted by hackers. With over 30,000 websites hacked on the daily purpose, it has become a normal query in the forums on how to reinstall WordPress website.

For example, BlueHost and HostGator has a dedicated article for this type of scenarios. You can totally divert the whole situation by using the security plugins we have recommended on our website.

Over To You

Finding a good way to uninstall/reinstall WordPress is rare on the internet, and that’s why I decided to cover the topic. By following the above steps, you can easily uninstall/reinstall your WordPress website.

If you are still stuck, then you know what to do. Just comment below and I will answer your query.

http://onesmartclick.in/web-development/error-406-or-not-acceptable-issue-how-to-fix-for-wordpress/#respondSat, 12 Dec 2015 22:24:34 +0000http://onesmartclick.in/?p=1864Few weeks ago I started having Error 406 with Not Acceptable! on one of my WordPress sites when trying to edit, update or save a post or a page. I kept getting the following message when trying to save a post. Getting an error 406 Not Acceptable The request is not acceptable. I tried many fixes and nothing seemed to have helped getting rid of the issue. So I decided to reinstall WordPress (How to Uninstall and Reinstall WordPress). Even the reinstall didn’t help! Later I found out that the “Not acceptable! Error 406” occurs due to Mod Security updates on the server. So if you are having a similar problem then you can try one of the following methods to fix it.

Error 406 (Solution 1 for Fixing)

Backup your .htaccess file if you have one in the ‘wp-admin’ directory. Then make a ‘.htaccess’ file with the following content and upload it to ‘wp-admin’ directory.

You will need to upload this .htaccedss file to your server. So if you don’t know how to upload a file to your server then check this tutorial on php.

Error 406 (Solution 2 for Fixing)

This is the solution that worked for me for my WordPress site.

Backup your .htaccess file if you have one in the public_html directory.

Open the .htaccess file with any text editor and observe the lines between the “# BEGIN WordPress” and “# END WordPress” tags. Make sure the lines look somewhat like the following. If not then update the file with the following content and upload it to the ‘public_html’ directory.

Best Free DNS Hosting Providers

We are going to see importance of Free DNS here in this article. Many Websites runs using 2 different DNS providers, a primary and secondary. This ensures that the website is always up and running, but this usually isn’t the case. Generally, sites rely on 1 DNS provider to do all the heavy lifting. Which as we’ve seen can cause all manner of problems.

With the rise of Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS). I thought it would be good to quickly cover the importance of Domain Name Systems. And why it’s essential to have more than 1 provider.

Using high quality DNS is so important to the redundancy of a website. We recommend using 2 different DNS providers (primary and secondary). To ensure your website is fully redundant. Here are 10 Free DNS Hosting providers. We’ve tried and tested on our own and our client’s websites.

Domain registrar Namecheap have a great offering with solid infrastructure. DNS servers all over the world. You dont even have to have registered your domain with them. Although we use them for name registration too!

Supports Anycast DNS to allow for domains to be served from their own dual stack anycast network. Boasting a rich feature set. Rage4 is a provider for all kinds of sites, supporting high traffic or CDN’ed domains. Free trials are offered for smaller sites.

A new concept in data-driven DNS. Ns1 offer an anycast network, great API and advanced functionality. Such as powerful traffic management algorithms suited to todays cloud based environments. This one is definitely one for the developers looking to scale and take things to the next level!

A new free anycast based DNS provider – Anycast means it’s a solid, fast, and redundant network. For those needing their domain served across the globe. Edge servers are located in the USA, Europe, and Asia. Meaning domains are served faster on a much grander scale.

Used by thousands of websites with global architecture. FreeDNS is one of the longest serving DNS providers with a good track record. Definitely want to use if you’re a developer looking for a free provider.

Another good and reliable DNS provider. That offers unlimited domain hosting, dynamic DNS record updates, and subdomain hosting. Just recently they launched a decent API and control panel. With more features like IPv6 support coming soon.

Cloud and server provider – Rackspace offer a no cost DNS service. Solid and reliable for small businesses or startups. Looking for automated and simplistic DNS management.

All of these providers are either free, or have a decent free plan. Another of our favorites that we’d recommend is Softlayer. Who are a giant data centre operator recently acquired by IBM. (Softlayer does offer totally free anycast DNS. And their infrastructure outweighs the scale of a lot of the above providers. But only to clients that have other services such as servers with them.)

http://onesmartclick.in/design/wordpress-themes-selection-for-wordpress-blog-free-or-premium/#commentsTue, 17 Nov 2015 11:08:52 +0000http://onesmartclick.in/?p=1308Selecting a WordPress theme for your blog is quite a tough decision because of the huge number and variety of free WordPress themes and Premium themes available in the market.

So, as a newbie blogger, are you thinking to start your first blog with a free theme and then change to a Premium theme at a later stage?

You’d be wrong and definitely curse yourself later if you do that. I’m not telling this to make a sale but this is the truth.

I’m not saying free WordPress themes are bad but they come with many disadvantages. If you are really on a budget, you can download themes from WordPress theme directory but downloading them from other sources will put you at risk.

As I say, free themes are amazing just because they have the word “free” associated with them. But there are many disadvantages associated with them. Why would anyone give away something for free?

There is nothing called free lunch in this world. So, there are some reasons why these theme developers are giving away stuff for free. Reading the list below, you will understand the disadvantages of using free WordPress themes and why these developers give away themes for free.

Disadvantages of Using Free WordPress Themes

1. No Support and No Updates

For most of the free WordPress themes, you won’t get any support from the company if you’re facing issues in installing the theme. If the developer updates the theme in the future for bugs and advanced coding, you won’t get any updates and your site will be at risk.

Theme developers create a free theme as a side project and make the updates available in their pro version.

However, some developers do make a difference. For example, the evolve theme and few others too offer free updates. But the updated versions take more time to release than the Premium versions, so you need to wait for a longer time to get those updates.

2. Not SEO-optimized

In free WordPress themes, there will be hardly any in-built SEO options and the coding will be unclear. A clean code, faster loading time, SEO compatible makes a theme SEO-optimized. On the other hand, theme developers take care of all these aspects in their Premium version.

3. Has Encrypted Links

The most hated thing about free WordPress themes is that they often have encrypted links in the footer. This has bad impact on Search Engine Optimization and there is bound to be fall in your rankings if you have such encrypted code. Besides, why encrypt the footer when you can use it for adding more features?

4. Lesser number of features

Free themes have lesser number of features integrated into the theme. For example, a Premium theme has Premium slider plugins, contact forms, ticket support plugins, etc integrated into the theme. This way, you can make your website the trendiest and offer many features to your potential customers. However, free WordPress themes do not come with these features and you need to integrate these features separately.

5. No theme options panel

Many bloggers who are starting a blog may not have technical knowledge. Most of the free WordPress themes do not come with a theme options panel so you need to play with the codes to create any custom design whereas Premium themes come with an options panel where you don’t have to play with the codes. You can change everything in a click.

However, there is again the evolve theme, which is free and does have a theme options panel. So, if you are a new blogger and have no money to spend at all now, you can start with the evolve theme and upgrade to the premium version once your blog starts growing to get the maximum effect.

Tips for Choosing an Ideal Theme

Irrespective of it being Free or Premium, a theme should serve your purpose well. Only you can comment on what exactly your needs are, but it helps to bear a few basic points in mind when settling on a theme:

Do not compromise on the features and functionality that you need. A good theme should provide ample features to suit both your present and future needs.

Even though you may be well-versed in coding, look for a theme that is easy to use and modify. In other words, try to choose a theme that does not require rocket science for customization – the time and efforts invested in configuring a theme, if saved, can be invested elsewhere too.

If you have a specific genre of website, such as a photo/video gallery, opt for a theme meant for that specific purpose.

Ensure that the developers are active and the theme is regularly updated.

Plus, check for the available support options. If it’s a Premium theme, ask for nothing less that personalized email support/ticketing system. And if it’s a Free theme, look for the level of activity in the forums (if any) and/or the frequency with which the developer responds to the comments on his website.

Next up, bear in mind that the theme you are opting for should not be too old – this is especially true if you are choosing a Free theme. Web technology tends to get updated at a rapid pace, and it makes sense to opt for a theme that is updated.

Just in case even Premium themes fail to impress you, and you have the budget, consider opting for a Custom Design.
